"Very professional and efficient. We had a dead tree that needed removed and no one else would do it due to close proximity to power lines and being in a dense neighborhood. He removed the tree cleanly and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg to do it. We would definitely use him again!"

"I recently used their services to remove four trees from my side and backyard, and I was very impressed with their work. They were professional, knowledgeable, and efficient.They also took the time to answer all of my questions and explained the process of removing the trees in detail. I am very happy with the services that I received from Kentucky's Best Tree Service. They are a professional and reliable company that I would highly recommend to anyone in need of tree removal or other tree services. I will use their services again in the future."

"Wow. I almost never write reviews. But these guys went so far above and beyond anything I expected, I want to shout it from the mountaintops. The best price of several quotes, no hidden charges, one day service, quick, efficient and super friendly. They are more professional than any national franchise or chain I've ever dealt with. I contacted several companies for my project. Most involved leaving a message, waiting for a call back from someone in another office who 'took' information I already provided and still saying they would have to work on the details and have someone else call me back. Even after I stressed that I was under a tight deadline, some didn't call back until the deadline passed. (A few actually advertised same-day service which is clearly not true when they don't even return your call in one day). I had a household that needed packed and moved quickly for an unexpected sale that happened before the property was even listed. I promised to have it cleared out in 2 days before I realized it may not be so easy to do that. Leondre' responded quickly, provided a flat rate quote (not a list of extra fees and surcharges), scheduled an appointment, arrived on time and flawlessly tackled a project that would have taken me forever- in just a few hours. When we spend hundreds of dollars a month in the wealthiest grocery/discount store in the world; sweating through their aisles while trying to maneuver past pallets blocking the path, then waiting in line for what seems like hours because they only have one of their 20+ lanes open- still doing the loading and bagging work ourselves- you have to wonder how a guy like Leondre' would improve customer service (and sales) if he were in charge of this international corporation. I wish all businesses operated like his and I will call him every time I need any of the many services his company provides."

Tree Service FAQs, answered by experts

Not every arborist climbs trees, but most will do so if that’s the best method for assessing or treating a tree. Arborists have a variety of tree climbing gear and safety equipment to choose from when climbing trees. Consult your local arborist about their tree-climbing plan if your service requires that type of task.

You can use herbicides to prevent roots from growing without killing the tree itself, however they must be used with caution. Systemic herbicides are absorbed by the root and can kill off problematic roots. However, herbicides can sometimes negatively impact nearby plants, so the solution is best used sparingly.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.

In general, trees should be planted no closer than 15 to 20 feet from your foundation. For larger trees with far-reaching roots like maples, oaks, or poplars, a good guide is to plant as many feet from your home as the tree’s height is expected to reach at maturity. Some trees, like elms and willows, should only be planted far from where their roots may encounter sewer or water lines.

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.
